The Cincinnati Reds are in wait-and-see mode after Nick Lodolo exited the final Cactus League game of the spring with a blister on his left index finger. Lodolo was lifted during the first inning on Sunday after throwing just 10 pitches and his status for Opening Day is now up in the air.
This is nothing new for the Reds left-hander, and that's what makes it so frustrating. Lodolo missed three weeks last August with a blister on his left hand, and was sidelined during the middle of the 2024 season with a similar issue.
The Reds are already slated to begin the upcoming season without Hunter Greene.
